Abyss Beckoners

The Abyss Beckoners are a very rare pair of gloves which improve the damage resistance of summons at the risk of driving them Mad.

Demons will bite their masters, slaves, comrades, and, on occasion, themselves. They bite on principle, and are functionally piranha with extra steps.

Notes

• The following summons are innately immune to  Demonspirit Madness
  •  Accursed Spectres from the The Hexblade's ability.
  •  Ghouls summoned through  Danse Macabre,  Animate Dead: Ghoul, or  Animate Dead: Flying Ghoul
  •  Mummies from  Create Undead
  •  Dryads from  Conjure Woodland Being
  •  Wood Woads summoned by dryads through  Fallen Lover
  •  Flaming Sphere
  •  Spiritual Weapon
• The following summons have a sufficiently high Wisdom saving throw bonus to be effectively immune to Demonspirit Madness. It is not possible to critically fail normal saving throws (except Concentration and Death saving throws), so a +9 Wisdom saving throw bonus is sufficient to always succeed the saving throw.
  •  Devas from  Planar Ally: Deva or  Sights of the Seelie: Summon Deva
• The following summons lack the SUMMON tag and are entirely unaffected by Demonspirit Aura:
  •  Guardian of Faith
  •  Grasping Vine

Regarding Demonspirit Aura:

• Though not stated ingame, the aura is visible as a red circle; it emanates from the wearer with a  AoE: 9 m / 30 ft (Radius).
• Summoned creatures which are otherwise immune to  Charmed (such as  Calmed or  Aura of Devotion) cannot go  mad.

Bugs

• The description of Demonspirit Aura includes a tooltip link to  Crown of Madness, instead of  Demonspirit Madness.
